And Then They Voted!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him
up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?"
When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the East
(and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up
with that stuff."
And then she voted.
===============
I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I got a
call from an InDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center was open. I
told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He
responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call
quickly, I said, "Pacific."
And then he voted.
============
So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when we
overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she
got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but
"didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."
And then she voted.
================
I was in a high school advanced physics class and the teacher was talking
about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on the battlefield to
burst enemy soldier's chests. One InDUHvidual in the class spoke up and
said, "Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"
And a few years later, he voted.
=============
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a
seat-belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the passenger side door's map
pocket.
And then she voted.
=================
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier
multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.
And then they all voted.
================
I was hanging out with a conservative friend of mine when we saw a woman
walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend
said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I had to
explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart
no matter which way the head is turned.
And then she voted.
===============
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the
lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because they were trained professionals
and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"
And then she voted
